Right i have a 2.8 isuzu lump running isuzu alternator
and now and again while off roading mainly i can hear the blades hitting the steering box.
i have just put a new belt on but no difference.
anyone got any ideas?
use a smaller belt would pull back towards the engine but just wondering if anyone else got these issues?
-
Engine mounts, I had to swap them on the LSE as the fan was hitting the bottom of the shroud. Alternatively put a spacer under the RHS engine mount and RHS gearbox mount.
-
the mount does seem to be pulling forward a bit i just put that down to the conversion.....
whats the best way to solve it? new rubbers on the mount?
-
At £4 a peice or whatever I would, they shouldn't be deforming noticeably but perhaps the conversion is a heavy engine. Perhaps they stretched the rubber a bit.
-
it is very noticable a good half inch forward on the mount.
gives me something else to do along with the clutch now.
the list has started. lets see how many pages it extends too :o
-
If its a metalastic type,I have known the rubber to seperate from the steel backing,all looks well on a visual but when the going gets tuff the engine starts pogoing around like a jumping bean
-
yeah sounds about right.
even though looking at it the engine is sitting forward 0.5 inch on the mount so the alternator is probably sitting more like 1 inch further forward than it should be.
-
There are 4 engine mounts, 2 hold the gearbox so I'd guess that whoever dis the conversion misscalculated the position of the front 2 mounts, hence thay are distorted.
